about the walk

The Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk presented by Hyundai has raised more than $125 million for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's fight against cancer since 1989.

Thank you to the more than 9,300 walkers, 1,000 volunteers, 640 Dana-Farber employees, and 49 sponsors who helped make the 2017 event such a success!

Registration for the 2018 Jimmy Fund Walk, scheduled for Sunday, September 23, will open early next year.

"Kathy's Krew walks to honor Kathy Nash, beloved wife, mom, sister, daughter and friend, and to celebrate a life full of love, laughter and tremendous courage and strength. We walk to raise funds for discovery and delivery of treatments for lung cancer patients and their families."
